whats up with rating. why people take it so seriously here?
-
most of programmers are here to get information. rating a article ok thats good but why for comments. and every thing you write here?:confused: edit confused symbol added
Kudos, partially, and also certain rating levels attract abilities not offered to those of a lower standing, such as editing rights. Next question?

Why not? It provides a measure of how "good" a response is: that lets people decide whether to post something in a similar way. It allows people to see how "good" or "bad" an answer is likely to be: A high Authority reputation implies that it comes from someone who does know his stuff. It also provides a mechanism where we can tell that other people think "this is a pillock, avoid him" (negative rep) or "This guy knows what he is talking about" (positive rep) without having to remember each and every single one of the nearly 8 million members...

Re 100K points: It depends what classification you get the points in: For Debator you get the Golden Keytop of Tharrrg: a level 43 "C" key with an automatic downvote to any post by CSS. For Authority you get the Q&A Button Of Doom which automatically emails the OPs' tutor with a copy of the question. Well worth the wait, I can promise you!

I agree as well as dis-agree. We must be lenient to new members and must not down-vote them, unless they have reached a specified level of (say 2000 rep points. and reluctant to posts by troll and similar as we are now to others who have been here for some long time.

He was trying to buy a new lappie in April - I thought he had been sectioned, but no - it is possible that he can't find the "on" button on the new one...
